348 SPRINGS OF CALIFORNIA.
COTTONWOOD SPRINGS (RIVERSIDE 20).
Cottonwood Springs, on the road from, Mecca to Dale mining camp,
form a camping place that is well known to prospectors. They are
in a pass in the Eagle Mountains, 26 miles by road northeastward
from Mecca. The water seeps from, granite and collects in a small
concrete reservoir from which a pipe line extends northward to the
Iron Chief mine. The water is of very good quality, as is that of
most of the desert springs that issue from, granitic rocks.

CORN SPRINGS (RIVERSIDE 22).
A stream of perhaps 50 gallons a minute rises in a small cienaga at
Corn Springs, on the eastern side of Chuckwalla Mountains. The
springs form a camping place on one of the desert lines of travel to
mining prospects in the mountains farther east.

FRINK SPRINGS (IMPERIAL 2).
Frink Springs are on the eastern side of Salton Sink about 6 miles
northwest of Frink station on the Southern Pacific Railroad. A
wagon road between San Bernardino and Yuma, which was much
traveled before the construction of the railroad, passes the springs,
and they were formerly an important watering place. They are still
of considerable importance, as they furnish the only water for a dis-
tance of several miles along the eastern side of the Sink. The water,
which is of good quality, rises in small amount from sedimentary
material.
MILL CAMP SPRINGS (RIVERSIDE 21).
Mill Camp is a mining camp on the western side of Chuckwalla
Mountains and is 30 miles by road eastward from Salton. Good
water in abundance is furnished by springs at the settlement.
MULE SPRINGS (RIVERSIDE 23).
Mule Springs are in the main pass on the west side of Palo Verde
Mountains, near the southeast border of Riverside County, on a road
between Mecca and the settlement of Palo Verde. The springs yield
considerable good water, and their position is marked by a grove of
small trees.
SUNSET SPRING (IMPERIAL 7).
Considerable water rises in a tule area at Sunset Spring, which is
about 13 miles south of east from Brawley, in the Imperial Valley.
The spring has been known for many years, but it has been used
mainly by desert animals. Since the settlement of Imperial Valley
and the introduction of irrigation the spring has become of even less
importance as a watering place for travelers.
